General Notes: Husband - Dr. John McCormick

---

The immigrant ancestor of the M'Cormicks of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, was Dr. John M'Cormick, who emigrated from Ireland to Virginia between 1730 and 1740. A deed under date of May 21, 1740, exists in the records of Orange County, Virginia, from Just Hite to "John M'Cormick of Orange County," for three hundred and ninety-five acres of land. He took up other grants adjoining this property, which was in that part of Orange County that became Jefferson County, West Virginia. It was on this estate near Summit Point that he built "The White House," still standing in 1925. He was a graduate in medicine of the University of Dublin, and brought to America with him a large and valuable medical library. At his death it was bought by Dr. Cramer, the leading physician of Charlestown. He died in 1798, leaving a wife and eight children. In his will, recorded February 8, 1869 [sic], he mentions his wife, Anna, and sons, James, John, Francis, William, George, and Andrew; and daughters "Mary Tate, wife of Magnus Tate;" and "Jean Bryen, wife to James Bryen."
The early M'Cormicks were described as clannish, satisfied with their own family ties, affectionate, domestic, courteous. Their traits were honesty and a strict regard for the truth.
A prayer book, long handed down from father to son as an heirloom in the family, contained its records of marriages, births and deaths from 1700 to the time it was destroyed in the Civil War days.
